Sweet Harmonies ~Plance/Pidgance ~

Date PT2

I step out of the car after Lance pulls into a parking spot. I feel the bitter air bite at my skin through the small knitted holes in my cardigan. I rub my arms. I walk to the front of the car and wait for Lance to lock up. He walks over to me, grabbing my hand.

"Let's go" He says, starting to walk us down the pavement. I look around us. We are in the busy streets of town, but it's as if we are in our own little world.

"What are we going to do?" I ask him as we cross the road.

"Well, I was thinking that we should get some lunch, then I have a little surprise" He smiles at me. I smile back at him.

We get to a little restaurant and have some lunch. (As you can tell I don't like writing eating scenes and restaurant stuff lol)

We leave the small restaurant, and begin walking down the side walk again. He grabs my hand in his and leads me through the streets. We chat and laugh about literally anything that comes to mind. I am laughing at something when I hear some music. I look around and spot a very young little boy sitting on a bench, playing his acoustic guitar. And it sounds familiar.

"Yeah we'll be counting stars" My eyes widen, and I tug Lance's hand, looking straight at the boy. Lance looks down at me curiously.

"He's playing our song" I say with a small smile creeping onto my face. I decide to be slightly impulsive and start running over to the boy sitting on the boardwalk. Dragging Lance along with me of course. 

I pull to a stop when we reach the boy. He hasn't looked up at us, but we watch him in amazement. Suddenly, Lance walks in front of me. He takes my hand in his, placing his other hand on my waist. He then starts swaying up back and forth. I let out a small giggle, placing my hand on his shoulder. 

He then lets go of my waist and spins me out. I continue to laugh at how adorable he is being. He then spins me in, my back pressing to his chest. He wraps his arms around me and sway us around, laughing himself.

He then spins me back out and pulls me in so that our chests are pressed against each other. I smile at him, hearing people cheering and seeing them smile at us. The boy stops singing and I look over at him. He is smiling at us. I turn to face the boy, Lance wrapping his arms around me from behind.

"You are very talented" I say to him.

"Thank you miss. I'm glad you liked it" He replies, running a shaky hand through his blonde hair. He has nice tanned skin, and looks to be about 11. Which is why I ask the next question.

"Where are your parents sweetie?" I ask, furrowing my eye brows. His smile falls flat. He looks down. I look up at Lance quickly, who looks just as concerned as I do.

"In heaven" He whispers, looking back up at me with tears in his crystal blue eyes. Shit.

"Oh sweetie, I am so sorry. Where are you staying?" I ask, rushing to his side, kneeling next to him. Lance kneels on his other side.

"I live with this really mean lady. She hurts me and my sister" He says. I then take a second to notice the faded bruising on his arms under his sleeves. I feel my heart tightening in my chest.

"And what's your name kid?" Lance asks, smiling sadly at the little boy in front of us.

"My name is Blake" He tells him.
